cottyw Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Recently I have seen several makes of variable scopes (1-4x) with built in bullet drop compensators (Smidt and Bender, IOR). What is your opinion of using holdovers vs. a bullet drop compensator for a 3-gun AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I'll sell you my Redfield with it's BDC dials and built-in rangefinder for a lot less than a scope made in Da Fatherland and you can bolt that onto your AR and see for yourself.

Religious Shooter Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Recently I have seen several makes of variable scopes (1-4x) with built in bullet drop compensators (Smidt and Bender, IOR).What is your opinion of using holdovers vs. a bullet drop compensator for a 3-gun AR? From http://www.recguns.com/Sources/XIIC7.html Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC)-A BDC is usually an elevation changing dial or knob on the scope. These enable the shooter to aim dead on without having to raise or lower the weapon when estimating elevation. The shooter simply dials in the correct range and the BDC compensates for elevation. The shooter puts the cross hairs on target and fires. I don't think IOR offers a 1-4x scope that has a BDC. But if you refer to BDC as being the above definition... IMHO it's lame for 3G.

benny hill Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 With the 50 yd. zero, you hold on out to 250 & top of plate at 300. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
